Midpoint


We're just a little over halfway through 2014, and I've seen 26 of the year's movies (so far). I thought that now would be a good time to rank those movies! Of course, this is just my opinion, one of many. But if you haven't seen some of the films in, say, the top ten, then try and watch them if/when you can.

Ok, here we go….


1. The Grand Budapest Hotel
2. The Lunchbox
3. Belle
4. The Fault in Our Stars
5. Chef
6. Locke
7. Non-Stop
8. Muppets Most Wanted
9. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
10. Neighbors
11. Life Itself
12. X-Men: Days of Future Past
13. 22 Jump Street
14. Begin Again
15. Ida
16. The Monuments Men
17. The LEGO Movie
18. Edge of Tomorrow
19. Enemy
20. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
21. Godzilla
22. That Awkward Moment
23. Jersey Boys
24. Noah
25. Palo Alto
26. Transformers: Age of Extinction


And, there you have it. Honestly, I really only dislike the last three movies, so there's something to like about the first 23 (in my humble opinion). Hope you have a chance to watch some of these films.

By the way… 40% of the movies that are in my top ten I was able to see at the C-U Art Theatre Co-op. If you're not watching films there already, then you're really missing out!

Yesterday's Restaurants

The local newspaper has a feature from one of Champaign-Urbana's most legendary restaurateur's, John Katsinas, on what his favorite area restaurants were that have now since closed (or will soon be closing).  It's a nice little read, and has made me stop and think about the restaurants that have come and gone that have left an indelible (and edible) impression on me throughout the years. Here we go....

31 Days of Horror Movies: Thir13en Ghosts

While not a scholar or even a purist, I am somewhat of a film snob. Not a big fan of remakes, specifically when the originals don't need updating. It is therefore an unusual position I find myself in, preferring a remake to an original, and by leaps and bounds. Let's take a look at today's feature...

31 Days of Horror Movies: The Woman In Black

Yesterday, we had a lady in white, and today we have.... The Woman In Black Just as Nosferatu was our oldest horror film to be reviewed this month, The Woman In Black is our most recent. Released earlier this year, the film stars Daniel Radcliffe in a more adult role than previously seen in his Harry Potter career. He plays a young lawyer whose wife died in childbirth, so he has been raising their son (mostly) on his own. With money tight, and his job on the line, the young attorney takes an assignment in a remote village, much to his dismay. The small, closed community Radcliffe's character finds himself in is apparently haunted by a woman dressed in all black. When she is seen, a child dies. She is seen quite a lot during the course of the film. The locals get edgy with the attorney, making him feel most unwelcome. And when he is doing his work, sorting through the papers of a deceased elderly woman, he discovers the secret of the woman in black. It doesn't
